Nothing to speaks upskilling youth by cutting their student aid, forcing them to go more into debt, and having them spend more time paying off that same debt after graduation (in effect being a form of double taxation, punishing them for wanting to be more educated), and making it harder for them to pay for basic needs like groceries. This is Doug Ford telling my generation „haha get fucked“.
It’s funny the tuition freeze is a good example of a policy that sounds good to most people but had so many lasting impacts beyond its scope. Schools leaning more into international students to make up the funds, those international students being actively exploited by these institutions and the built up resentment towards them that has massively increased casual/direct racism.
Freezing tuition for domestic students sounded like such an easy, good will policy at the time. I always think of this specific example when people push for policies that sound like a no brainer – everything is complicated!

Tuition freeze needed to end, it’s part of what led to the international student fiasco. Costs keep going up, if tuition doesn’t then schools have to find alternative funding methods.
The OSAP change sucks. I understand the whole “Ontario gets more money back this way” thing but Ontario isn’t in desperate need of money so much as desperate need of operational changes. To be fair, every level of government is in desperate need of operational changes so.
So not only cutting their funding, (which would get paid back) but also allowing colleges to charge more.
Brilliant financial planning from paper bag Ford.
Am a student. I think most of us don’t care much about the tuition change, it’s the funding changes that are going to hurt. Thankfully next year is the last year of my program, but it’s going to really hit low income students going forward.
